     NAME    [Toc]    [Back]
	  mergeOPTIONS - merge in PostScript options

     SYNOPSIS    [Toc]    [Back]
	  /usr/etc/appletalk/mergeOPTIONS [ -D ] [ -n user ] [ -p
	  printer ] [ ]	[ -f file ] [ -t ] [ file ]

     DESCRIPTION    [Toc]    [Back]
	  The mergeOPTIONS program accepts data	from stdin (or a
	  single optional file)	and sends it to	stdout.	 Its primary
	  purpose is to	merge queue or user-specific PostScript
	  options into the postscript stream.  In addition, in many
	  types	of printers, mergeOPTIONS is responsible for
	  performing accounting	and performance	timing.

	  The flags are	defined	as follows:

	  -u   specifies the user who sent the job.  This determines
	       what printer-specific options are sent when the job
	       originates on Unix.

	  -p   specifies the printer that is being used.  This is a
	       signal to mergeOPTIONS that it is the last program in
	       the pipeline, and it should do accounting.  -f
	       specifies and output file that will be used instead of
	       stdout.	This argument is used to avoid an additional
	       pipeline	element	on platforms where redirectioin	of
	       stdout is not efficecient.  The output file is
	       truncated if it exists.

	  -t   causes mergeOPTIONS to flip CRs and LFs on output, to
	       allow creation of PostScript "TEXT" files for some old,
	       broken rips.

     FILES    [Toc]    [Back]
	  OPTIONS.PS
	       queue specific  PostScript that will be output with
	       every file.  Usually used to control things like	film
	       positive/negative, etc.

	  OPTIONS.spoolername
	       If there	is an options file for the PAP spooler the job
	       came in on, this	will be	placed in the file AFTER the
	       OPTIONS.PS file.	 This can allow	you to have two
	       spoolers	to the same queue that have different output
	       options,	for example, different screening selections.

	  SETUP.PPD
	       setup for jobs that originate on	Unix.  Used to give
	       Unix users control of options such as tray selection.

	  SETUP.PPD.user

	       If a setup file for the user exists, it will be used in
	       place of	the normal SETUP.PPD.

	  explained to some folks who will not listen.
